> I can't write "average European" for this, You can't write "average American" for this, either.

  The US has a common film rating system for all cinemas etc, which is at least some standard the whole country is implicitly supporting. Europe doesn't, and so a film can receive different ratings in each country. The first film I found searching for a good example of this, Eight Grade, is rated suitable for children in Luxembourg, Spain, Sweden etc, and 15 year olds in the UK and Ireland -- with the UK possibly more concerned with the language than the sex. The US rates the film R, so 17. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7014006/parentalguide?ref_=tt_stry_pg#certification https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7014006/parentalguide?ref_=tt_s...

    Eight Grade has a 15 rating in the UK. Here's the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) listing for it: https://bbfc.co.uk/releases/eighth-grade-2018 https://bbfc.co.uk/releases/eighth-grade-2018 The ratings info says this: > Language > There is strong language ('fk'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'dick', 'shit', 'goddamn', 'God', 'Jesus Christ'). > Sex > There is a scene in which a web search shows a woman explaining a sexual technique, accompanied by strong sex references. > There is also a scene in which a young teenage girl suffers a panic attack, as well as one in which an older teenage boy tries to pressurise a younger teenage girl into having sex; however, she does not agree to this. I don't know enough about BBFC to say which of these they place more importance upon. (Eighth Grade is a very good film btw, and A24 are currently my favourite film production / distribution company).
